I noticed my local weather forecasts from Google search have gotten significantly less accurate these days.

Like, they consistenly called for freezing seasonal overnight lows many weeks before it was remotely probable. You'd get better predictions asking anyone who's lived here a couple years. In fairness, I'm in a region that's notoriously difficult to forecast, but the popular non-Google sources seem to be generating better predictions.

I wonder if the rollout of this new model is related (either occurred and made it worse, or will come and make it better).

I'd love to get some hard data. Are there any sites out there where you can compare past performance of different prediction models at a very localized scale?

comparing model performance for a location seems such an obvious thing but it's basically non existent, I wonder why
